[qwacker9]

does anyone have a good set of valves for a Z1000 A1 / A2 going cheap or does anyone know where to buy new ones that dont cost an arm and a leg. or can bent ones be straightened ?
ive sold my best A2 so now im making a start on my project one.

Hi Matey, it's got to be a no go on straightening them,

Just bought a set from Z1 enterprises, with postage about £100.00 per four valves

[hillbilly]

depending on which valve it is,i know that the toyota landcruiser 4.2 deisel engine,has the same size valves in them,all that is needed is them to be shortened.at about £8 each.could be a good saving.

Hillbilly,

Have you used them yourself?

i went to an engineering company for some head work,and they had a cd,that cross referenced valves,and found that the valves from a deisel toyota land cruiser was the same size in width and size,the stem was longer,but he said you can cut them down and regrind the collet holders.

I bought a full set of patern ones from ZedPower for ~ £150, had to grind the valve stems down 0.020" as a little long but otherwise OK.
